PLYMOUTH – The Plymouth Police Department is seeking the public's help in solving an attempted burglary and burglary at Mickey Mart and the Community Market, respectively, just minutes apart.

Plymouth police and the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation are investigating a burglary at the Community Market on Sandusky Street at 6:06 p.m. Friday, in which Detective Cameron Dailey said a suspect opened a safe and took four money bags.

After investigation of video footage Tuesday, Dailey asked for the public's help in identifying what authorities believe are the same man and a woman accomplice trying to commit a burglary at the Mickey Mart gas station at 5:54 p.m. Friday.

Both locations, the office at Mickey Mart and the manager's station at Community Market, were busy and visible to other customers, Dailey said.

At Mickey Mart, a video shows a man and a woman entering the office area and going through desk drawers and filing cabinets while the woman stands watch and keeps the cashiers occupied, according to Dailey. "Both are very calm and appear to be used to doing this," he said. It is not known if anything was missing from the Mickey Mart.

Dailey said no one was injured in either incident, but authorities have a video that shows a male suspect entering the grocery store, formerly known as Mac's Market, and then entering the manager's station, opening the safe and taking the money bags.

Dailey said the man walked around in the store and checked out the manager's station. He then pulled the safe door open and removed an undisclosed amount of money that was in cloth-style bank bags, Dailey said. "Again being very calm (he) stops at the register on his way out and asks a clerk a question then exits the store," Dailey added.

Shortly after, the suspect stopped and spoke with a store clerk, then exited the store, police said. One of the four money bags was recovered inside the store, Dailey said. The store is in Huron County Sheriff's Office's jurisdiction, Dailey said.

Dailey said authorities have good evidence and video of the suspect and his accomplice and a 2007 silver Chrysler Town and Country that might be related.

"Due to the additional evidence I discovered, I would have to assume that they stopped at other locations as well, south of Plymouth on Ohio 61 or Ohio 98," the detective said.

Anyone with information on the identity or whereabouts of either person is asked to call Dailey at the Plymouth Police Department, 419-687-3371.
